// Condition analysis
Cover in the protective sleeve shows glossy surface with strong color and sharp corners; a few faint wrinkle/press lines are visible across the upper-middle cover area near the character art, likely from the plastic sleeve rather than the book itself, and there's minor edge wear at the top corners. Spine appears tight with no visible stress lines or color breaking. No stains, tears, or writing are visible on the front cover. Interior and back cover were not assessed, so grade reflects front cover only.

// Archive commentary
The Savage She-Hulk #13 arrives midway through the character's short-lived solo Bronze Age title, part one of a two-issue Other Realm storyline that brings in Hellcat and works toward a Man-Wolf crossover. David Anthony Kraft continues his run as writer with Mike Vosburg on pencils and Frank Springer inking, with Vosburg and Al Milgrom credited on the cover; Jim Shooter and Mary Jo Duffy round out the era-appropriate Marvel editorial team. The issue is a workmanlike chapter of the ongoing series rather than a debut or origin story, populated by supporting cast including Buck Bukowski, Dr. Daniel Ridge, Garth of Mournhelm, Gorjoon, John Jameson, Lambert, and Richard Rory alongside She-Hulk and Valkyrie.
Market data for this issue is sparse, reflecting its status as an unremarked mid-run entry in a title that never achieved sustained collector demand outside of She-Hulk's later prominence as an Avenger and pop-culture figure. The single recorded 9.8 sale and lone 9.6 sale suggest a market where high-grade copies surface rarely and trade for modest sums when they do, consistent with a newsstand comic of average print run and no landmark content. There is no meaningful price differentiation across most of the grading scale until the top of the census, where scarcity of pristine surviving copies produces a small premium.
This is a book for completists of the Savage She-Hulk run or Bronze Age Marvel team-up chasers rather than a speculative investment vehicle. Lower and mid-grade raw copies are readily available in dollar bins and online lots at nominal cost, while CGC 9.8 copies command a real but limited premium driven purely by scarcity of top-census submissions rather than character or story demand. Any future appreciation would likely track broader interest in She-Hulk media appearances rather than intrinsic demand for this specific issue.
